H. Cochran, Inc., is considering a new three-year expansion project that requires an initial fixed asset investment of $2.15 million. The fixed asset will be depreciated straight-line to zero over its three-year tax life, after which time it will be worthless. The project is estimated to generate $2.23 million in annual sales, with costs of $1.25 million. If the tax rate is 23 percent, what is the OCF for this project? (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to the nearest whole dollar amount, e.g., 32.)
